A Letter to My SDSU Family...

I cannot tell you how God has blessed me through you all. I was given such loving and funny friends. I have laughed until I my stomach hurt with you. I have prayed in tears, fighting with and for you.

For those who are just finishing your junior year, you were an answer to an impossible prayer for me. God answered beyond imagination. I have had the opportunity to watch you all grow deep, up, and together with Jesus. My prayer for you: ask for a greater generation of spiritual multiplication to follow you. Leave with no regrets. You are an anointed group of ambassadors for the Father's kingdom. Stand in the power of His Spirit living in you as beloved children.

For the Nav's staff: Thank you for taking the risks. Thank you for following Christ into disciple making. Jeff, you have lived out dying as a seed so that God could produce fruit in and through you. I am so grateful for your example and leadership. Jo, you invest in so many lives, outside of Jesus, the way you live would not make sense. Thank you for speaking life! Sherry, I don't see you often but your faithfulness in raising your boys and supporting Jeff is something I admire. Keep writing! I love your honesty and it is a gift. EDGEr's, you rock! Besides the fact I would have felt like the old lady without you here, I loved witnessing God working in and through you.

For my Bible study women: I learned time in the word together is incomplete without dessert. I loved feasting on the Word with you. I pray God keeps revealing more of Himself to you and increases your hunger for His Word.

For anyone who may have rode with me on a trip: Sorry if I tried to kill you or got us lost. Big thanks to Sarah for doing her best to keep me awake for the last 2 hours back from the Laborer's conference even though the adrenaline from the snow was sufficient.

For all: Even if not mentioned by name here, you are written on my heart. I may have been in Brookings way longer than I intended but I God's amazing wisdom, He kept me here until His vision for disciple making was implanted in my heart and He made me ready to be sent out. I pray for Jesus to make you ready to follow His command where ever He leads you too. He is faithful. He will do it.

Hear His promise: "Call to ME and I will answer you; I will tell you of great and unsearchable things you do not know."
